It all started in Jacksonville, Florida, where I graduated from Providence high school in 2012. I was fortunate enough to have recieved a baseball scholarship to the University of Central Florida. My first two years, I spent my college years in a big city (Orlando), and a school that had over 50,000 students. Now I am a junior at Valdosta State, and the only thing that is the same is that I still play baseball for my college.

One of the greatest things that baseball has done for me was bring me to some amazing places, and get the chance to meet some of my closest friends. I never realized how good baseball was to me until I had the chance of a lifetime to play baseball in Alaska for two months after my freshman season was over. I bonded with people all over the country, and made memories that I will never forget. I love having the chance to develop new relationships, and where ever my job may take me one day, I'll be looking forward to the challenge.

What I love most is sports. Anything with a ball I am a fan of. My favorite teams are the Orlando Magic, Chicago Cubs, and the Jacksonville Jaguars . Unfortunately, they are arguably the three worst teams in their respective sport. That doesn't mean I don't remain thier biggest fan no matter how hopeless it may seem.

With all that being said, my future is all but decided. I am a business major that is looking to specialize in finance. It gives me a chance to be able to interact with people, and deal with numbers, at the same time, which is something that I enjoy. Also, I get to deal with money, and who doesn't love that? Even though I will be recieving a finance degree, my love for sports could bring me back to what I love most, and teach kids the game that I grew up on.
